Now in its sixth year, Ideo.org is designing new products, services, and experiences to empower the world's poorest and most vulnerable communities, a fight that takes creativity, empathy, and the understanding that the solutions that stick start with aspirations and needs of everyday people. In short, the fight against global poverty takes human-centered design. Meet the designers at Ideo.org's recently opened New York studio and learn about their latest projects—from growing maggots as a low-cost feedstock for poultry farmers to developing new digital tools to improve financial health for millions of Americans.
